CB, that post was worth sitting back and thinking over; though I do not think I am projecting unless I am a self-hating Christian.

While I see your point regarding how the Inquisitors and other doctrinally incorrect are not the same as me, the attacks ARE aimed at us, as the people who launch them believe all Christians are such. They are not only attacking the Jim Jones sect types, they are attacking all.
It is very possible I am attributing something to malice however that can better be explained by sheer unfettered ignorance. That is a point I think I may have overlooked. Perhaps I have been in college too long (where it IS a malicious attack on Christianity quite often). Though I do admit I still lean towards it being an anti-Christian bias, as it would fit well.
I agree wholeheartedly about its physical form being 'just' a book, and that it is tasteless. I don't think I ever said it was desecration, so I do not know where that came from. It would be idolatry though were I to believe such. The point of that scene which was an attack on Christianity is when the girl begins proclaiming the Bible wrong, and then the preacher backs her up by saying it doesn't have to be right, we just have to have faith in something that is wrong.
It isn't always below a believer, when these stereotypes are spread it sends people away from Christianity, sort of like when blacks were portrayed in movies as foaming at the mouthed rapists of white women. It didn't exactly form a positive image. A negative image of Christianity makes it harder for a Christian to witness to others. I have had multiple people tell me they were shocked I was a Southern Baptist. Why? Because I was not acting like a pretentious snob to them. Even here in the Bible Belt such beliefs have been formed. So, when someone who lacks knowledge of scriptures begins spouting off falsehoods and repeating the big lie as fact, it can cause damage.
And I do take the show for its good. It is the only way to enjoy the thing.
SB, I did notice when I looked into it that she comes back (I read the backs of the DVDs, so, I read the plots ahead of time). Yes, she IS hotter than the Brazillian chick.
